Free Web NovelChapter 1363: Chapter 423: Master Zi’s "Running Away from Home
Ye Lingyue’s letters were sent to different parts of the Qing Province Continent.
The fastest to receive the letter was naturally the Sect Leader Wuya of the Lonely Moon Sea.
Having experienced sending letters before, Sect Leader Wuya also realized that this seemingly light letter was of extraordinary significance, like holding a hot potato, and he rushed to Dugu Heaven.
"My Lord, Ling Yue’s letter."
Sect Leader Wuya shouted out loud to Dugu Heaven.
Although he could use Divine Sense to transmit his voice, Sect Leader Wuya inexplicably liked shouting, this most primitive way of communication, recently.
The words "Ling Yue" had not yet echoed back.
Zitang Su’s silhouette had already appeared in front of Sect Leader Wuya.
He raised an eyebrow, and Sect Leader Wuya quickly presented the letter with both hands.
Suddenly, a gust of Gang Wind swept up from the bottom of the mountain stream.
The letter was torn into two with a "tearing" sound.
One half was still in Sect Leader Wuya’s hand, while the other half fell to the ground.
Sect Leader Wuya shivered, looking guiltily at Zitang Su.
Zitang Su’s long eyebrows and eyes slowly became solemn.
He stared at the letter.
The five words on the envelope, "Master Zi personally opens," were split in two.
A sense of foreboding crept up bit by bit from the bottom of his heart.
"My Lord, should I use a technique to repair..."
Sect Leader Wuya hesitated to say half a sentence, and Zitang Su, in slight annoyance, tore the letter from his hand, brushed his sleeve, and the remaining half of the letter fell into Zitang Su’s hand, disappearing without a word.
Sect Leader Wuya stood on the cliff; a cold wind blew past, and he felt a deep chill in his heart as if he had offended Lord Zitang once again.
Would he become the Sect Leader who offended Lord Zitang the most in the history of the Lonely Moon Sea?
He truly felt he had failed the ancestors of the Lonely Moon Sea.
The torn letter was restored as before, but Zitang Su no longer showed the joy he usually had when receiving Ye Lingyue’s letters, although at most that joy was just a slightly more pronounced curve of the mouth than usual.
That night, Zitang Su stood on a tall Purple Leaf Bodhi in Dugu Heaven.
This Purple Leaf Bodhi was rooted in Dugu Heaven, and Ye Lingyue once thought it was a phoenix tree until once she heard from Zitang Su that it was a Bodhi tree.
It’s understandable why Ye Lingyue was mistaken; ever since she inherited the legacy of the Jade Hand Poison Master, she only distinguished plants into two types in her eyes.
Poisonous ones and non-poisonous ones.
Once, she asked Master Zi out of boredom, what’s the difference between a phoenix tree and a Bodhi tree?
Zitang Su thought for a long time and only said one sentence.
"Bodhi has no heart."
Ye Lingyue didn’t believe it at the time and laughed scornfully.
"How could it be heartless, Master Zi? Haven’t you noticed that Bodhi leaves are heart-shaped? To me, the Bodhi tree is the most sentimental tree, with a whole tree full of hearts."
The night wind blew the heart-shaped Bodhi leaves, rustling, just like the sound of waves.
Above the night sky, countless stars sparkled.
Almost the entire Qing Province Continent was under the same sky.
But the same sky appeared different in the eyes of different people. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
A cry of an eagle pierced the night, and the Three Realms Eagle, like an arrow breaking through the dark, landed beside its master.
It cried a few times in a deep voice, with a worried look in its golden-brown eyes.
Yet, under the sleeves of Zitang Su, those slender, agile hands formed a spell.
Under the effect of the spell, the tranquil and dark starry sky in Zitang Su’s eyes started changing.
At night, the pale gray clouds turned into waves and surged across the sky.
The originally fixed stars in the sky began to move voluntarily.
It seemed as if this piece of the sky had become a chessboard, and those stars were like pieces, moved by an invisible hand. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
The star formation was constantly changing.
An abstract scene appeared in the void.
It was a face, an ordinary and unremarkable dark face, but the eyes on that face were brighter than a luminous pearl.
The owner of the face was running at full speed, seemingly being chased by something behind her.
She was searching for a way out, but all she saw ahead were narrow, dark, intertwined corridors, seemingly endless.
Suddenly, she halted her steps.
A figure appeared in front of her, a man’s back, tall and full of power.
Seeing the man, the woman’s eyes showed a look of astonishment.
A blade of light slashed across, cutting into the woman’s waist and abdomen.
Her body was sliced into two, blood splattering all over...
The starry sky returned to its original state, and the terrifying Power of Heaven and Earth, enough to cause changes in the stars, vanished instantly.
Zitang Su’s body stiffened.
"Die... she will die."
From Zitang Su’s lips came a few whispered words.
The torn letter had given Zitang Su a bad premonition, so he used the power of the Heaven and Earth Star Plate, just to calculate Ye Lingyue’s fate.
The Heaven and Earth Star Plate was somewhat similar to the Spiritual Artifact Star Plate of Dan Palace Chen Hongru in those days.
However, Zitang Su’s cultivation was far superior to the likes of Chen Hongru.
The power of this Heaven and Earth Star Plate was greater; it calculated the life and death crisis of someone at a certain moment with completeness.
"No more... not a second time..."
Zitang Su’s gray hair draped down, and his beautiful purple eyes showed unusual determination.
The Three Realms Eagle anxiously nibbled at its master’s sleeve.
Zitang Su patted its head.
"I have made up my mind."
The next morning, Sect Leader Wuya was meditating in his room as usual.
A sudden, unexplained twitching of his eyelid led him to calculate, and his old face immediately turned into a bitter gourd.
"Master, something bad happened. A patrolling disciple discovered that all the trees near Dugu Heaven have withered. We don’t know if something happened inside Dugu Heaven. Should you go and inquire of Lord Zitang?"
Sect Leader Wuya’s senior disciple rushed in, sweating profusely. Dugu Heaven was located in the most remote corner of the Lonely Moon Sea but had the most abundant Spiritual Energy. The trees there, untended for years, thrived lushly.
For them to wither overnight was unprecedented.
"No need, spread the word that no one is allowed to enter or leave within ten miles of Dugu Heaven, Lord Zitang is in seclusion."
He was already not in Dugu Heaven, what was the point of asking?
Zitang Su was the source of Spiritual Power for Dugu Heaven; without him, it naturally turned barren.
Sect Leader Wuya stated calmly.
"Seclusion? So how long will the Lord be in seclusion?"
The senior disciple persistently questioned with concern.
"Maybe a year or two, or maybe forever."
Sect Leader Wuya internally felt frantic.
He truly was a perpetual offender of the Lonely Moon Sea; because of a letter, he managed to anger Lord Zitang into departure.
Would Lord Zitang never return to the Lonely Moon Sea?!
